SUNDAY, the 16th of July at 1 PM SLT, in Royal Opera will present absolutely wonderful musical !!!
“NOTRE DAME DE PARIS”. Direction, scenography and choreography version for SL – by Ina Carpaccio

A musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novell „Notre Dame de Paris“ which follows the gypsy dancer Esmeralda and the three men who vie for her love: the kind hunchback Quadimodo, the twisted priest Frollo, and the unfaithful soldier Phoebus.

Quasimodo loves Esmeralda, but she loves Captain Phoebus, already engaged to Fleur de Lys but flattered by the gipsy girl’s attentions. Meantime the priest, Frollo, harbours carnal desires for Esmeralda and, egged on by Gringoire, jealously tries to stab Phoebus to death. Esmeralda is accused of the attempted murder and imprisoned.
Frollo offers to help her escape in return for sexual favours, but Quasimodo frees her and hides her in the belfry at
Notre Dame Cathedral. The homeless refugee Clopin and his gang invade the cathedral to free Esmeralda, but the invaders are attacked by Captain Phoebus and his regiment. Clopin is killed. Frollo betrays the hiding place of Esmeralda and Phoebus is forced to arrest her and announce she will hang. Quasimodo throws Frollo from the top of the belfry and rushes to save Esmeralda. He is too late. He retrieves her corpse and dies alongside her.

The performance in English. Wonderful music by Riccardo Cocciante, expressive characters and unique scenography. You can’t leave it.
Warmly invite with family and friends.
